Meredith Posts Career-High In Saves Against Loggers

Keahi Meredith recorded nine saves in his fifth career start

TACOMA, Wash.—Lewis & Clark College men's senior goalie Keahi Meredith made a career-high nine saves, but the River Otters fell victim to a pair of goals scored on either side of halftime. 

THE BASICS 
 
University of Puget Sound 2, Lewis & Clark 0
(Lewis & Clark 2-14-1, Northwest Conference 2-11-1) 
(Puget Sound 6-2-7, NWC 5-2-6) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Meredith nearly doubled his career-high for saves in a single-game to help Lewis & Clark in their efforts to pull off the upset on the Loggers' Senior Day. The River Otters senior keeper stopped the first six shots he faced and tacked on three saves in the second half. 
 
Junior Kaden Nakamura and senior Dylan Weinstein led the offense with two shots apiece. Nakamura posted the team's lone shot on goal in the contest. 
 
The hosts tried to get off to an early lead as they peppered Meredith's goal. The Lewis & Clark goalie made his first save just 75 seconds into the game and stopped one of the Loggers top scorers, Rhys Foote, on back-to-back shots in the first 15 minutes. He added two more saves on Foote shots and a stop on a Jackson Smith shot to keep the game scoreless through the opening 40 minutes. 
 
Puget Sound grabbed the lead at 41:18. Smith dribbled the through the box and sent a hard shot just inside the near post for a 1-0 lead. 
 
The Loggers doubled their lead just after halftime. Smith sent a cross into the box and Foote rose up to head the ball in for his ninth goal of the season. The goal marked the Loggers' second score in a span of 4:51. 
 
Nakamura recorded the River Otters lone shot on goal of the game at 81:36, but the Loggers goalie Mason Allison was able to parry the ball away. 
 
 BY THE NUMBERS 
  • Meredith has posted a career-high 17 saves this season. He set his previous career-high for saves in a single-game with five saves against Azusa Pacific on September 7.
